Sunday is Mother’s Day, also a day for women without children or mothers. Free and open to women from all traditions, an event will be held at the Congregation Ner Tamid, 1250 Quintara Street in San Francisco on Sunday from 11 am to 1 pm and 2 pm to 4 pm. The morning session will be for women without children and the afternoon session will be for women without mothers. For the latter, if you have a photo of your mother, bring one to share.
The idea is to bring women together and celebrate the joys and/or sadness of this facet of our lives. They’ll honor the thousands of year old mythological, cultural and historical annual celebrations of women, peace and creativity. Ilene Serlin, PhD, Pres-Elect of the San Francisco Psychological Association, will moderate.
